Make it one for my baby…
By Silver Blue
…and one more for the road…
Two completely non-related photographs, but ones that I’m completely in love with.
First, the front “garden” decorations of the Dynamic Beth, who keeps my hair looking spiky and fresh.
As you can tell, Beth is very much into the nautical theme. Tasteful decorations of King Neptune and his two mermaid “nymphs”. (The only thing missing his is trident, though the sculpture doesn’t appear to have place for one.)
Secondly, from the holiday party from work, a simple display of wine bottles:
A Merlot, White Zinfandel, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio. I don’t know much about wines (other than I can’t drink red, with the exception of one Merlot by Penfold’s, due to allergies which spawn massive migraines), but I find it strange that the Chardonnay is the only wine that is in a different shaped bottle. Oh wait. I can’t tell about the “punt” (the dip in the bottom of the bottle) of the merlot, but it appears to be nearly non-existent in the Pinot Grigio, though I guess maybe the condensation on the bottle might be hiding it?
Silver Blue, raising a glass to 2012. Regardless if the Mayans are correct, I’m going to make this a year to beat all years!
Things that make me happy…

1….when I’m feeling less like my usual Silver Blue self.
There’s my wine bottle covers from a coworker, and silk artwork from China:
(I name all my computers. The plate the the middle was from “Blue Thunder”, two laptops ago.)
Then, there’s my stained glass Valknuts. Valkwhats you say?
Custom made by an artist in Florida. (The Valknut (or Warrior’s Knot, or Knot of the Fallen) is a Sacred Symbol to Odin, King of the Nordic Gods. This “Magical Knot” was self-carved into the breasts of wounded Viking Warriors so their Souls would be carried, by the Valkyries, to Valhalla, the Heavenly Meeting Hall where the heroes would feast with their Gods forever. However, one would be mistaken to associate this symbol solely with the bloody Vikings. Norse legends harken back to a a long forgotten age where… “Life was considered the ‘battlefield’ of the Soul, and to triumphant one had to overcome the forces of darkness in one’s own life, allowing the spirit to shine…the triple triangles of Mind, Body, and Spirit leads the Higher Self to Victory over Darkness, bringing Resurrection and Rebirth.*)
Finally:
French Sauternes (a quite expensive dessert wine — the half bottle shown here can cost upwards of $100), and my Cobalt Waterford crystal wine hock.
Silver Blue, who is going back to bed, and going to shake this lethargy and malaise if it’s the last thing I do on this Earth!
